You appeared on the cover of NME last summer, proclaiming Dubstep had arrived and since then you’ve got bigger and bigger. How has the sudden rise in fame affected you?

After we were on that cover we had so many people ringing us up wanting to know about Dubstep and we’ve since been played on the radio a lot. It was great to get the music out there and there is the stamp of approval that comes with being on the cover of the magazine.

When did Magnetic Man get together?

We’ve known each other for ten years now. I ran a record shop, Big Apple Records, in Croydon and I was always there making beats and working on music, and they’d come in and buy stuff. I got to know them and we started working on music together. Then we started performing live, with our laptops.

Dubstep has done well in the charts with the likes of yourselves and Katy B. Do you think the genre can have real mainstream success?

Definitely, yes. Our album went to number five but it’s not a mainstream sound. It’s odd, but I think there are a lot of tracks getting used on TV now.
